8:07 am
then in 2008, michael phelps became a household name. eight gold medals. now his olympic run ending on a major high note in london, with four golds and two silvers. this all adds up to phelps claiming 22 total medals over three olympic games. 18 golds. 2 silver and 2 bronze and one word, wow. now, let's update the medal race. still tight. we're tied with china. great britain in third. chinese have never traditionally done well in the second half of the summer games. and let's bring in a man, olympic gold medalist, and world champion, dan o'brien, who's yahoo! sports analyst in london. great to see you, dan. i have to ask you -- you have won a gold medal. something that we have been wondering in the newsroom, what do you after you win a gold medal?

8:09 am
back to the sport. i hope he continues to give back to the olympic movement. really, that's what it's all about. the olympic movement, keeping it strong for the next generations to come. >> he's really become the face of the sport. that's true. and let's talk about track and field. usain bolt the fastest man in the world racing today and his jamaican partner is going to give him a run for his money. >> not just one but both jamaican partners, they'll both be there with usain bolt. but the question is, can the americans get a medal? i'm saying today it's about time. can we please run this race? usain looked great in the preliminaries. he literally jogged to a 10:03. it's going to be exciting tonight. last night was incredible. they were calling it super saturday. there were so many great races. it's going to be a little hard to beat the energy that was in the stadium last night. >> fair to say, lot of pressure on usain bolt. all right, dan, we appreciate your
8:10 am
commentary this morning and your expertise. and in the next half-hour hear the inspirational of oskar pistorius. the first double amputee to compete in the olympics. now, to a breaking story overnight, hundreds of new evacuations in oklahoma, where they are fighting a dozen wildfires amidst a perfect storm of drought, heat and high winds. and adding to the mystery -- did someone set one of these fires on purpose? abc meteorologist ginger zee is on the story. >> fresh flames, growing terror and manhunt. almost 50,000 acres have burned. in what could be one of to worst cluster clusters of wild fires in oklahoma history. dramatic new picture overnight. these homes totally engulfed by flames, gutted by the fire. firefighters could do nothing to

save the homes. across the oklahoma city region, walls of fires, with multiple fast-moving wildfires whipped up by strong winds. and in this town, 600 people forced to flee for their homes. >> memories. from being a small kid. everything's gone. >> reporter: the fire in luther, oklahoma, just 25 miles northeast of oklahoma city, literally swallowed streets and homes holes. and it's believed to be the work of an arsonist. this morning, a manhunt is on for a black pickup truck and the driver they say is to blame for day care structure. >> i'm 82 years old. i have never seen anything like it before. >> reporter: as the firefighters gain some measure of control, families are beginning to struggle what remains after smoke clearance. >> in a tornado, you pick things up. you find things that are
8:12 am
salvageable. you come here, you move anything and it turns to dust. >> reporter: conditions have definitely improved as a cold front moved through overnight. rain moved in. behind that front, you got some moisture and cooler air, they'll drop into the mid and upper 90s. they have been above 100 for 18 days. in oklahoma city. it's still going to be a pretty tough fight. even know the winds will be slightly lower. we're watching another story, multiple in the tropics. we got florence and then ernesto, a little bit more intense and a lot closer, at least, eventually to what could hit u.s. soil. it could hit yucatan and redevelop out in the gulf. we're watching this, that's friday at 2:00 a.m. by time we hit next weekend, we'll know a lot more about that track and whether it will clip texas. >> all right ginger. >> another big weather weekend.
8:13 am
let's check the other stories developing at this hour, for that, we'll go to ron. good morning. the man charged in the deadly shooting rampage that left former congresswoman gabrielle giffords could spend the rest of his life in prison. jared lee loughner will reportly plead guilty on tuesday. mental experts will test him, that loughner is competent to understand the charges against him. the reported deal will avoid a possible death sentence if he was convicted. hillary clinton will visit turkey later this week for talks on worsening civil war. in neighboring syria. syrian military forces and antigovernment rebels are clashing in the strategic city of aleppo today. the rebels are looking to consolidate gains before facing a full-scale assault by forces. and meanwhile, syrian army claims that it's retaken control of damascus. southwest airlines is blaming a computer glitch for a
8:14 am
ticket sale went very wrong, it backfired when customers were billed multiple times for the same price. southwest said that it's working to refund the charges as soon as possible. and finally, take a look at this remarkable new world record, 138 skydivers. shattering the vertical skydiving record. forming a massive snowflake in the sky above illinois. that is pretty amazing, isn't it? >> it is. >> the dangerous stunt to require skydivers to fall at 120 miles an hour.k months of plann. and 15 attempts over three days to break the previous record which was -- take a guess. it's right there in that little box. 108, good one. exactly. >> i can read the teleprompter. that's amazing. >> 108. well, now, to to one of nasa's biggest gamble ever, the space agency calls it seven minutes of terror, tonight, the mars rover tries to
8:15 am
safely land on the surface of the red planet, but there's big fear that any number of things can go wrong. and to borrow a phrase from the olympics, nasa is hoping to stick the landing. abc's clayton sandell has the story. >> reporter: good morning, bianna, you can think of this as kind of a cosmic dismount. in hours from now, nasa will attempt to earn the gold with the most complicated mars landing they ever tried. the ultimate mission to mars. that tonight will have all of nasa holding its breath. as the $2.5 billion mars science laboratory hits the planet's atmosphere, scorching 138 degrees before a supersonic parachute hits the brakes. then using a sky-crane maneuver never tried to before, sophisticated rockets kick in, designed to land the rover to a precise landing zone.
8:16 am
a galactic hole in that requires a perfect choreography. nasa describes it as seven minutes of terror. even creating a universal hit with this viral video, rivaling the best hollywood previews. mars has always been a fierce opponent of the nearly 40 missions humans have hurdled toward the mars planet. only 15 succeeded. mars conquered the rest. 24 spacecraft worth millions of dollars. but if curiosity can pull off the upset and survive -- >> i'm rationally competent. i'm emotionally terrified. >> reporter: the rover will embark on a two-year mission, exploring for new clues about past or maybe present life on mars. >> we're explorers. you know, we see a mountain we want to climb it to a see what's on the other side. as a scientist, we want to answer the big questions. >> now, as you watch nasa mission control tonight, you may spot a jar of these, peanuts,
8:17 am
it turns out that it's a kind of ritual to pass them around mission control before a very complicated, critical part of the mission. it's a custom that goes back decades. with so much on the line, no one wants to mess with tradition. >> just peanuts and beer? just peanuts. >> they'll stick with peanuts for now. >> all right, thank you, clayton. president obama is celebrating his 51st birthday this weekend. quietly at camp david. but next weekend, he'll be throwing a big birthday fund-raiser in chicago. which raises a key question. let's check in with george stephanopoulos, co-host of "good morning america." and host of "this week." longest te esest title in telev. there's a story, lead story in the "new york times" today says, quotes some democrats being worried that the obama campaign spent so much money early on, they're in this desperate scramble now to catch up with team romney. is it real?
8:18 am
>> it is real. it's a real gamble. they made a firm decision to spend early and a lot. $400 million already. they have spent. what they're doing is investing in social media and building up their ground game. they're convinced that this election is going to be determined by getting out your most enthusiastic voters at the end. that's what they invested in. but, going into these final three months, they're going to have less money left for mitt romney to spend on television. >> that's why the president is turning his birthday into a fund-raiser. while the polls are tight nationally, we're seeing this interesting new poll from key battleground states that shows mr. obama with a pretty big lead, 6 points in ohio and florida and 11 points in pennsylvania. how serious of a worry is this for mitt romney. >> it has to be. national polls are quite close. right now, at least, president obama is leading in enough states to give him well over 300 votes in the electoral college. the romney campaign said after
8:19 am
the convention, after the debates, we believe that the economy is going to turn voters against the president. right now, the president has a relatively comfortable lead in the electoral college. >> george stephanopoulos, thank you very much. george has a big show this morning. a face-off between congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz. and republican national committee reines priebus. that's coming up on this "this week." time now for another look at the weather. we go back to ginger. one of my favorite chicago events, is lollapalooza. you get almost not the weather but bands. then this happened, very scary scene. they evacuated all of the people in time before the storms rolled through. they got a lot of rain that they needed in chicago. that type of energy and storm action is going to move east today. along that cold front, places like buffalo, new york, charleston there, memphis, all included in this severe weather
8:20 am
threat. i'm going to leave you with some cooler weather. that's the big picture. let's get a check now a little closer to home. >> portland, oregon, yesterday, record high 102. wait until you see the numbers coming up in the pacific northwest. >> even higher than that? oh, wow. >> just to clarify -- when you go to lollapalooza, do you do the crip dance? >> yes. now caught on camera call at this time great airplane apology.

8:23 am
this for me. >> thank you, matt. >> he just had a bad moment. we called him out on it. >> my coaches taught me a valuable lesson in life in a very creative way. >> hey, matt. >> matt's coaches stressed to us that he's a really good kid, nice guy, and people shouldn't get a bad impression of this one transgression. maybe this apology could become a trend. >> personal responsibility begins right here on "good morning america." coming up on "good morning america" -- peeping doc? the hollywood plastic surgeon to the stars, allegedly busted for filming his passengers. plus, the olympian who's inspiring so many people and inspiring controversy. do these prosthetic legs give him an advantage?
